New GeGeGe no Kitaro to replace Dragon Ball Super

Toei Animation has recently announced that a new GeGeGe no Kitaro anime will take over the Sunday 9:00AM timeslot, currently held by Dragon Ball Super, starting April 1, 2018.

This announcement comes as the teaser trailer for Shigeru Mizuki’s long-running series was aired (video above).

The new Kitaro anime will feature a completely new cast:

Miyuki Sawashiro as Kitaro

Masako Nozawa as Medama Oyajii

Yukiyo Fujii as Mana Inuyama

Toshio Furukawa as Nezumi Otoko

Umeka Shouji as Neko Musume

Kappei Yamaguchi as Ittan Momen

Bin Shimada as Konaka Jijii and Nurikabe

Mayumi Tanaka as Sunakake Baba

Toei has not clarified if Dragon Ball Super will end the week prior, or transfer to a new timeslot. However, internet speculations lean strongly toward the former, signaling a hiatus of the series after the Universe Survival Arc.
